In absence of the shield, air will be blown back into
the exhaust pipe. This leads to increased heater shooting
and impairs heat capacity. Exhaust gases must be
removed outside of the vehicle
Heater is provided with airtight exhaust silencer.
This mean it can be mounted in small vessels and
confined spaces. But for mounting exhaust silencer on
the outside of the vehicle, Ø5mm hole needs to be drilled
at the bottom of the silencer (see Fig. 10a).
If desired mounting situation requires the exhaust
silencer to be mounted vertically, condensate drain hole
must be drilled, like shown in Fig. 10b, to avoid
condensate build up in exhaust silencer. If that is not
possible, it is recommended to install it sideways (see
Fig.10a).
The outlet of the exhaust pipe must be installed
pointing downwards (Fig. 5), but it should be in such a
position that would prevent clogging or entering of snow
and dirt, and also provide for free drain of any water that
got into it.
Installing on maritime transport, silencer must be
mounted using the bolt and a nut provided, so it would
be in fixated position.
Make longitudinal cuts (about 15mm) (see Fig. 8,
Fig. 9 Fig.11) on ends of the metal hose to ensure better
sealing when connecting the heater pipe to the pipe for
discharge of exhaust gases through the board of the vessel,
but without going beyond the pipe to be covered.
Rubber bushing (sold seperatly) must be used if
exhaust pipe goes through plastic parts, for example,
bumper of a vehicle (see Fig. 11).
